The Reflection

Nothing too far beyond the boundaries of existence,
A story lies in the depths of its magnificence,
Through the phantom time and coincidence,
An epic of lives thriving in this infinite significance.

The Actor; Adaptable, dramatic & inventive.
The Rebel; Stubborn, dominant & selective.
The Child; Joyous, carefree & attentive.
The One; Subdued, Aware & receptive.

On a warm blinding morning….

Beaming rays with a distinct cyan calm yet uncomfortable,
Baking necks while fresh warm winds danced around his stroll,
Blanketed by invisible steam that pressured his every step, palpable,
As secretion of sweat etched his limbs, straying his thoughts and control.

“Why such luck?” He uttered under his heaving heavy breathe,
Down and battered he contemplated his untimely demise,
Then, a familiar figure, the Rebel, slowed his path stealing his penance of death,
A mask donned concealing his aches and freeing his lies.

The sun stood high and blazing rays of light pinching skin….

He halted with a sharp piercing stare and muttered reasons.
"I beg your pardon?” The Rebel forceful request.
As the heat altered the Actor, the Rebel faltered, to interrogate his own.
A solution unacceptable, perverse in the perseverance for an answer.
A potent conquest.
“Intolerable!” Answered the Rebel as the Actor cringed in his bones.

This congregation continued for hours and days,
Through sunlight and sun beam in haze,
In darkened skies and stars ablaze,
An old friend in each deep, haunting gaze…..

Heated my mind, losing my sight, wearing me thin….

The Spirit of past and future reveals as the Phantom passes,
Speeding through their doubts, beliefs and emotions,
Slowly, surely, the Actor dissipates and anguish envelope the Rebel in Darkness,
As he involuntarily slips into an abyss of confusion and frustration.

"Do not abscond from my heart!” Shrieks the Rebel as the latter left in moments,
Helplessly swimming in pounds of water dripping. Endless.
As the Actor blurred through the nebulous, crimson Sun; Entombment!
He sank to his knees, the Rebel scorned. Alone. Powerless.

Scorched the surface and my lustrous landscape turns grim….

Egos in this Ethos of the present life’s rich tapestry,
The wisest lucubrate its history with an orison.
As the Rebel stand upright from the grounds of fallacy,
The Child appeared like first light from the horizon.

Playful gestures and wild imagination brings hope to the Rebel,
Bridging decades of despair and blissful blithe of his soul, insouciant.
All shall pass, as the past shall fall into place, compelling but subtle.
The Child shows the Rebel elation and exuberance.

The darkness and death, breathes life and hope in…

From ruination to patching it whole,
The Child plays, learning and collecting snippets of life’s quiddity,
Unknowingly, the Child seeks while the Rebel hides in a hole,
In true fact of the play, the Rebel, lost and disappeared in humility,

The Child, alone, frames from moment to moment.
Living in a picture book full of colours and blush,
Puerile in its nature and no fear yet to be spoken,
No future. No Past. Never too slow, never a rush.

The Phantom, a magician of sorts, in Life or Death it sings….

Suddenly, a candle was lit deep within, sparking mystery.
A lost connection, that transcends through Phantom and Space.
It grew with every gesture and play, like a seed in a nursery.
From questions, comes understanding, though frozen by fear in place.

The child confounded and cried in doubts and trepidation.
Piecing the puzzle of this mystery while taxing his juvenile thoughts.
Complexity in its essence, the Child faltered in a last shriek of condemnation,
Shrouded in confusion, he felt elevated in comfortable hands, he thought, was God.

Fuzzy vision while light unveils the dawn of morning...

"Awaken", a gentle whisper, warm in both his ears.
As the blindfold comes off the light pierced his sight.
Soft supple hands gently caress his rosy cheeks damped with tears.
"Do not despair. Do not fight the light!"

A figure appear, calm and safe, as the Child stood free.
Looking up with absolution that his saviour has arrived.
Nothing else was said. They understand what needs to be.
Sliding his hand, the child grasps his, in a hopeful and blissful vibe.

Clear presence, back and forth so effortlessly, in a summer's dream...

I awoke with a sudden breath of life, emerging from the depths of sleep,
Halt my thought from straying yet free to roam in its vastness of possibility,
Holding on to the wisdom of past, and the knowledge of the future I will keep.
Forever awaken in oneness from the Heart through Yesterday till Eternity.

My sight has set to the stars while the mind listens to my beating Heart.
It paves the road for my Soul. My eyes opened wide against the Sun.
Smiling in bliss without doubt and regret no matter how hard. Or when my Soul departs.

I am every moment. I am the Actor, the Rebel, the Child and the One.

My Wedding was not Mine

News have broken, Happiness impart, Eyes wide open, Plans have to start, We wanted simple, Small and intimate, Plans start to swivel, Trying to accommodate, Additions of lavish, Prices rocket high, Expectations not managed, Every counter with a sigh, Arrangements are muddled, Breath gets anxious, Organisers clutched and bustle, While our ideas are vanquished, So we step aside, Decided our own side plans, Nodding coincides, Arms down with helping hands, A moment of realisation, That this wedding is never ours, Giving way to our "wise" parents, Protecting an image of theirs, Well this is the tradition, Our "culture" in fact, Bop heads in submission, Keeping love intact, So do what you wish, We just hand over the deposit, Over-choosing every dish, Burning holes in our pocket, Then here the day comes, Nervous but excited, Deafening loud drums, Costumes over budget, Yet smiles are endless, Minds,...

My Suffering

I have been broken, Fractured and sliced, Wounds that tore open, Bruised muscles across my thigh, Heartbreak is much worst, Loneliness that scarred, Tears that seem endless, A hurt that stretched out too far, But this is the ultimate pain, For nothing can describe the torture, A feeling like acid in my veins, Breaking my soul to such a horror, Yet no blood will be spilled,  No tear I can show, No solution will reveal, Not mine, yet I can't let go, Nothing is more painful than to see your suffering, Difficult coming to terms, not being to control everything, But rest assured, through this pain, you'll have my support, No matter what happens, I am here. This is what I can afford, Love, Papa.

Happiness is not Wise

Do you want to know the secret, Of perpetual elation? Where there are no limits, A pleasure with no cessation, One is in always noticing, What is close to our hearts, It could be someone or something, A moment ended or about to start, Know that it’s not a destination, Neither a purpose nor a goal, As happiness is a mere consequence, To a choice we CAN control, A contentment of being, Existing within this vastness, Ever grateful to be living, Then, it’s everywhere to be harness, But happiness is not wise, So choose only when permits, As when all other emotions arise, Each one with its own merits, A grief, a sadness, Make moments more valid, An anger, the madness, Make us wise with knowledge, A surprise to be forever saved, A disgust to show such a violent reality, Fear only teaches us to be brave, Cultivating our soul, invariably, Revel in these emotions, Feel fully and accept, Life, it deserves a d...
